This video has about everything!! I started out the day streamer fishing and then transferred to nymphing halfway through the day. I ended up catching a couple of browns with a streamer and a HUGE Brook trout. I then caught a bunch of browns while nymphing through some beautiful trout water.
I hope everyone enjoys the video! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

Hey Jonathan. This morning I was fishing Helton Creek near Whitetop, VA. A 7" wild rainbow took my #14 Adams. I got him to me, popped out the barbless hook, and gently slipped him back in the water. Then I remembered a really important fishing tip you taught me. As he swam away, I said, "Thanks, buddy." I appreciate you.

[@hardmanfishing]

That is amazing! Thanks for watching and glad you got on a wild rainbow or two this morning

[@leehjones]

@@hardmanfishing I stopped counting at 10. Then there was one wild brown. The 12 inch rainbow came a foot out of the water, tossed my fly into the next zip code, and swam away laughing. It was a fine day out there.

[@acerrubrum]

I was just there! Awesome

[@asknoah796]

i live in the deep south where there are no trout so i have to travel to get to an area with trout. still trying to get my first one....

[@grant4546]

@@asknoah796 if you live in central texas I’ll go to the Guadalupe river during the winter, that’s where I go. I’m in the same boat as you

[@williambaker1753]

The brownie has got to be the most beautiful freshwater fish the brooks and rainbows aren't no slouch but the brown gold yellow with orange fins with hits of red just catch the eyes like no other trout. Great video on a nice piece full day on a beautiful river with some amazing trout can't beat a day like that.

[@SteveggStevegg]

I love it when a fish casually swims off slowly without a care in the world. Just Great.

[@woodywoodman4309]

"The prettiest fish on planet earth" perfect description of Brown Trout. Always my favorite, the variety of the rich and vibrant colors, spots and overall markings has always delites me. Each one is a beautiful and unique expression of the species. Likely something to that. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Love your videos, stay safe out there.

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

As a Canadian it’s amazing how much good water you have down there…. The reputation is it’s overly developed and pooched, but not really. I think that rainbow was wild, the stockers do reproduce. Stunning brookie too!

[@patjordan1955]

Yes I enjoy your videos! The hard work and quality you put into them really shows how much dedication you have in the sport! Those fish looked like they were so fun to catch. Never a dull moment, such fighters! Thanks

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed

[@Obadiah50]

Your videos are a JOY to watch!!!!! Cuz there is total joy in what you do. Man , I just want to be there!!!!!

[@communityprepper6153]

Grew up fly fishing, bass fishing, pike/musky fishing and salt water fishing in New Jersey. Been living in CA for the past 22 years landing huge Largemouth bass and a ton of ocean species. Moving to the mountains of North Carolina in the Fall. Time to get back on the rivers!

[@user-bm4of1sh7v]

Without a doubt ! The best fly fishing videos out there !! You and your brother need a televised show for sure....

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!!

[@mikethomas6187]

Them Trout are beauties Wow! Amazing fishing spot too

[@zumalot]

Absolutely beautiful water. That brookie was my favorite, but certainly can't ignore those browns.

[@hardmanfishing]

No you can't!! Thanks for watching!

[@cooltuber1404]

Absolutely beautiful stretch of water to fish ! Those were some big beautiful hungry Browns but the almost 12" Brookie was the catch of the day ! Thanks again for another enjoyable video ! 👍😊

[@hardmanfishing]

Couldn't agree more!! Thanks for watching!!

[@Chrisgalin]

I'm going to chuck it around. Why? Why because. Why not? Love it!

[@fishinginthematrix3799]

That’s a beautiful view, those drone views are amazing

[@OHCreekFishing]

What pretty trout man! I would LOVE having fishing opportunities like that in Ohio! Tight Lines man!

[@RAPPERei_Mancing]

beautiful and natural fishing spot

[@michaelsmith7193]

What a beautiful river! Another excellent video - that native brook trout was amazing! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!! The brook trout was definitely a surprise

[@kozakmw88]

Brookie like that is a special thing. Going big definitely paid off 😎👍🏻

[@hardmanfishing]

Yep! When I decided to go big I didn't think that would be the result!

[@ccmusic2249]

Wonderful video as always! Beautiful big brookie!

[@jeromedwojak918]

Great video there, beautiful fish! Tremendous water there where you were fishing no doubt. Yielded some spectacular cathes!

[@hardmanfishing]

It did indeed!! Thanks for watching

[@davidleimeister5027]

What a wonderful river with some beautiful brown trout. Great video.

[@hardmanfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jimgollach6202]

Those fish were so beautiful because of where they live, very beautiful stream. Enjoyed watching. Tight lines. 👍

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks Jim!! Glad you enjoyed

[@patjordan1955]

Wow! What a day of fishing! Those fish r so pretty, nice size and great fighters. How cool was it to catch that big brook on a 4” spinner!!! Thanks!

[@darrelbaillie7829]

Awesome 👌.

[@steveg8322]

Absolutely amazing,brilliant,beautiful fish,well done on all counts.

[@robertwilcken8431]

Good day right there!

[@13jonnyray]

Epic group of fish

[@emhankinson]

Absolutely savage, man!

[@pbskater3]

Do you ever fish for bass or fish other than trout? I'm out in the Rockies so I mostly fish for trout but I want to get a new rig to go for pike soon! Anyways, your content is great and I'd love to see videos of other species, that'd be interesting!

[@leemowers9395]

Nice video, thanks

[@BoldCreationsRL]

You need to come do a trip up to Maine if you think a 12" native brookie is big. Would love to take you out!

[@stevedavis4087]

Let's GOOOOOOO! Lol keep talking to em out there bud unbelievable specimens on this outing... Looking forward to the next one

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!!

[@patjordan1955]

Had to watch this one twice! My gosh those fish r pretty!

[@hardmanfishing]

That's awesome!! Thanks for watching (twice)!!

[@larryhudson4511]

Nice camera work! Good looking water!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks Larry!

[@Prirodairibolov]

Great Video

[@kylesettle455]

Awesome man

[@deinoCOTW]

Man that rainbow was very pretty

[@naturefellas8524]

Another great video love the way you film and edit it all flows so smoothly. When I'm out filming I always find it hard to take the time to shoot nice b-roll or finding the right spots to place it in the video. you sir make it look easy professional grade work my man keep it up .

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!! It means a lot. I’ve spent a lot of time making sure I have the right shots to make the video so I’m glad some people notice at least

[@scottnock5241]

Great video Jon!! Miss the water in WV so much.. Hey where do you get your streamers? And what are your go to big streamer patterns? Thanks

[@matthewmiller8049]

Awesome content dude! Beautiful area. Where abouts were you at? (Not your honey hole, but area your fishing)

[@intothewild2345]

NICE

[@richardlarkin2705]

Are you using sinking tip fly line when you streamer fish?

[@patrickharlow7724]

What wt rod for streamers and nymphs? My little 3wt i use for dry flies has stopped working for everything lol

[@Swazti]

Where are y'all fishing out of? I'm in western new York and brand new to fly fishing. All we have near me are tiny creeks bout 6inches of water.

[@SouthernAppalachiaboiz]

Beautiful water. That Brook trout was a hogggg!!!

[@hardmanfishing]

No doubt!! Thanks for watching!

[@DB-iu8yl]

I’d love to run into you around the Chauga in SC.

[@bretyoder9521]

I'm on the West Coast I enjoy watching your videos. Not to sound smug but I feel I must give you a quick correction. What you keep calling a Tail is called the Adipose fin

[@hardmanfishing]

I know the difference between an adipose fin and a tail fin 😂 I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed but give me more credit than that

[@robertchilton7334]

Since you felt the fish were high in the water column, did you ever consider going to a dry dropper, just to control the depth of the bottom fly? New fisherman here. Beautiful fish, beautiful river.

[@hardmanfishing]

Yes I did. If I didn’t have my euro nymphing/tight line setup I probably would have. But what stopped me was I didn’t see any dry fly eats really, and I can easily control the depths of my fly with that setup. In other words if I want the flies to sit higher in the water column I just lift my rod tip higher.

[@robertchilton7334]

@@hardmanfishing thank you I went back to the video and rewatched your technique. I see what you were doing now. I don't have access to small stream fishing so I wasn't paying attention to the highsticking going on. Makes sense now. thanks for the reply. Tight lines!

[@TheH2ghostAdventures]

Interesting streamer method , but the trout definitely don't care!

[@jman2u50]

That is such a gorgeous spot! Now I’m excited for when I can hit the streams again!!

[@hardmanfishing]

It is an awesome spot!!

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

what are you using for a big camera?

[@dwetick1]

This looks like Poacher Creek in Huntington, PA...limestoner off limits to public.

[@hardmanfishing]

Not even in the correct state lol

[@j.loganhill]

Man I didn’t even know you could catch wild fish like that back east. Great video

[@pauldalia2451]

Have you ever fished the savage river in western maryland

[@jeremiahurban2457]

You need to put a stick on tape measure on you net handle that’s what I do it’s got a long enough handle to have a 24” tape on it

[@wyattclouser5009]

Hey what state are you in and what creek are you fishing

[@Reese1596]

What was the streamer for the first catch. Great video!

[@WasatchWoodsman]

You called that first bow a stocker, how can you tell? All of its fins are clean and intact, is that not wild? All the stockers I’ve caught have nubby fins. Maybe it’s different out west

[@hardmanfishing]

Well this was out east. And although that fish didn't have nubs for fins they were still worn pretty badly and didn't have the white tips most wild rainbows have. I also know that river pretty well and I happen to know there isn't any reproducing rainbow trout in there.

[@eewentertainment7037]

Can you do a video on how to use a nympth in muddy water plzzzz

[@michaelruda9850]

Whats the first streamer you used?

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

What weight line and rod do you use?

[@dawgphart6093]

and what size reel, looks extra large. Nice video 👍

[@chrisderkas3835]

Would like to fish the stream, what s the name and where is it located?

[@bennosal6268]

I feel like you don’t get excited enough on grand slams it’s a very hard accomplishment that not many say they’ve done

[@67polara]

umm it seemed like your first big fish was a rainbow. You def caught several species on that trip!

[@hardmanfishing]

It was!

[@asknoah796]

what is your favorite type of trout?

[@seongjunyi2147]

흐르는 강물처럼

[@gabeduran7523]

Where are you fishing?

[@johnelick3971]

Do you guys fish in pa much?

[@hardmanfishing]

We have a few times, but it's not necessarily normal

[@Reese1596]

What streamer was that?

[@HOLYdEYEver]

where are you from brother. this looks like Appalachian water but nowhere I am familiar with.

[@cabinvibesebaystore8956]

New sub ! Liked 🙏🌙😀😛

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks for the sub!!

[@papichulo1843]

keep the fish wet dude

[@frankwestphal4525]

6:46 *adipose fin* looking at the belly, the pec fins are usually the foremost fins on most fish, followed by pelvic, anal, and caudal fins.

[@frankwestphal4525]

adipose fins are fleshy fins lacking rays found on the top of the animal.

[@Hijode_juan]

Where is this?

[@hardmanfishing]

Super secret never before fished creek that nobody has ever heard of (only kidding, but seriously I can't give it away)

[@GaryKidd1313]

Those were all native Brooke trout brother

[@hardmanfishing]

With all due respect you may need to look up the difference between brook trout and brown trout lol

[@johnbakken1853]

Forget the net

[@hardmanfishing]

I would.. but I like to show the fish to y'all if I can

[@richardjagoda8118]

Beautiful river not a smart fisherman though

[@wvlongshooter3912]

You are just a jealous person !!! Your comment absolutely indicates your jealousy 🤣🤣🤣

I assume you know that trump is begging for contributions on your site? Not that you have a choice in the matter...or do?

It’s not “my site” it’s probably just an ad on KZbin 😂 and no I have no control over it. Unfortunately it’s an election year so I’m not surprised
